Chapter 284: The Missing Medium
The source Ghost Painting unexpectedly appeared in Miao Xiaoshan’s dormitory, and the person behind the Dajing City chaos also began to gradually surface.
Zhang Xiangguang, who had been lurking for a long time, after accidentally encountering Zhao Jianguo, had his Peach Blossom Spring Plan considered by Zhao Jianguo, whose cognition was altered by the Newspaper Ghost, as the only way to solve supernatural events.
Meanwhile, after Wang Chaling successfully controlled the Wang Family Pendulum Clock and released Chen Qiaoyang, he successfully contacted Zhang Xiangguang through Chen Qiaoyang.
On one side were Zhang Xiangguang and Zhao Jianguo, who wanted to save the world through the Ghost Painting;
On the other side was Wang Chaling, who sought greater benefits.
Based on the “Peach Blossom Spring Plan,” before these new generation ghost wielders fully matured, the two sides, each with their own ulterior motives, prepared to create a “god” in Dajing City.
A god with human nature and ghostly body—”god.”
“The Ghost Messenger cannot be allowed to continue developing. According to the information from Zhao Jianguo’s side, he has arranged a total of thirteen ghost wielders at the training base. This number of Ghost Messengers can already serve as the coffin nail to nail the Ghost Painting.”
At this moment,
Zhang Xiangguang, who was preparing to take the Ghost Painting downstairs, began assigning tasks to each member of the team:
“Chen Qiaoyang, you and Song Xinhai go draw the Ghost Messenger here.”
“Nie Yingping, Zhang Xian, you know He Yuelian’s location. Be careful of that Wang Family kid on the road.”
After assigning tasks to everyone, what Zhang Xiangguang needed to do now was to resurrect the Ghost Painting, then bring the Ghost Messenger they had deliberately raised and He Yuelian, whose life they had carefully designed, here.
And ten minutes ago,
Inside the Ghost House in Dajing City.
“The weirdness of this house is that it can suppress fierce ghosts, and anyone who stays in this Ghost House for more than twelve hours will inexplicably disappear. That’s what’s recorded in the file from Headquarters.”
After coming out of the Ghost Painting, Chen Hao determined that they were now inside the Ghost House upon seeing the room’s decorations.
Without any hesitation,
He told Jiang Shan and Yang Jian all the information he knew:
“A year ago, when I was cooperating with Headquarters, its file level was still C, and there was little intelligence recorded about the Ghost House. That’s all I know; I don’t know the rest. But I heard that the follow-up handling of this ghost was done by Wang Xiao Ming.”
“Wang Xiao Ming?”
Hearing Chen Hao’s words, Jiang Shan frowned slightly.
His current state was very weird; his whole person would occasionally fall into a trance, and some past scenes began to inexplicably surge into his mind.
“It should be that the ghosts in my body are all suppressed, which is causing this weird state. If this state continues, I will die.”
If Chen Hao’s intelligence was correct, then Jiang Shan, who had now entered a weird state, determined that he was affected by the Ghost House’s suppression.
The Ghost House suppresses ghosts,
And while he now appeared as a normal person, in essence, he was still a ghost living in the past, without a physical body.
As an anomaly, if he wasn’t affected by the suppression, it would be fine, just like Yang Jian, who was also an anomaly in the original work, riding the Ghost Bus without any influence.
But once an abnormality appeared,
Then Jiang Shan must be vigilant, because this kind of supernatural that could affect him, who was originally a fierce ghost, might truly kill him at some point.
“My satellite phone uses the branch’s communication channel, so I can still receive calls and messages from the branch.”
“The follow-up of this event was handled by Wang Xiao Ming, so the file might record key intelligence. If I remember correctly, the branch’s file library has backups of Headquarters’ files.”
Jiang Shan, having made his judgment, didn’t hesitate at all and immediately called Cao Yanhua.
When the call connected:
“Cao Yanhua, does the branch have a backup of the Dajing City Ghost House file now?”
Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone immediately replied: “Yes, I’ll have someone send it to you right now.”
“Once communications from Headquarters First Base are restored, immediately send all files on detained fierce ghosts in Dajing City to every ghost wielder. It’s no longer time to worry about leaks, and also…”
While Jiang Shan was looking at the file sent by Cao Yanhua on his mobile phone and continuing to arrange the branch’s follow-up work,
A burst of static suddenly came from the satellite phone.
“Supernatural interference with the signal? Never mind, I’ve said what needs to be said. Cao Yanhua can handle the follow-up. The top priority now is to leave here.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shan, who had found a way to leave, looked at Yang Jian and Chen Hao and spoke calmly:
“The intelligence on the Ghost House is similar to what Chen Hao said, but its killing pattern isn’t attacking ghost wielders and fierce ghosts; instead, it shields the mediums on people and ghosts, thereby creating an effect similar to suppressing fierce ghosts.”
“Is this the void state that Wang Xiao Ming mentioned?” Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed as he took the mobile phone from Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan said: “It’s similar. In terms of physics, we are all constantly moving objects, and the medium can be understood as the contact between the quantum in our bodies and other quanta in the world.”
“This is also why there are no records of ghosts or ghost wielders escaping in the file—because the mediums on our bodies have disappeared, so at this moment, we are no longer people of this world, and thus this world has no place for us to stay.”
Hearing Jiang Shan’s words, Chen Hao and Yang Jian frowned tightly.
Both of them were naturally born ghost wielders extremely sensitive to the supernatural, so after thinking for a moment, they understood the meaning in Jiang Shan’s words.
“Then, doesn’t entering the Ghost House mean we’ve already been judged as dead?” Chen Hao suddenly asked.
“If nothing unexpected happens, yes, but I guess you should be an exception.” As he spoke, Jiang Shan took out a Ghost Mirror Shard from his pocket.
“Why?”
Just as the words fell,
Jiang Shan handed Chen Hao an old pair of scissors wrapped in messy hair, interspersed with flesh and blood.
“Hm? This is…”
The moment Chen Hao took the Ghost Scissors,
His vision underwent a weird change; the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and various terrifying things began to emerge around him.
There was a Ghost Eye peeping at him on the ground, countless mutilated limbs covering the floor under his feet, and approaching footsteps—these weren’t fierce ghosts; they were the killing patterns of fierce ghosts, left behind after previous Ghost Scissors users cut the curses.
“Neither of them has a single curse on them? No, it should be that the two of them no longer have mediums on their bodies, so those curses can’t affect them at all.”
Chen Hao, holding the Ghost Scissors, looked at the extremely “clean” figures of Jiang Shan and Yang Jian and analyzed silently in his heart.
Then,
He glanced slightly at himself.
“Why is the Curse of the Ghost Painting still on me?”
